Description

Accion 30mg Capsules contain Lansoprazole, a medication commonly used to treat and prevent ulcers, particularly duodenal and gastric ulcers. Lansoprazole belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. By decreasing stomach acid, it promotes healing of ulcers and helps prevent further damage to the stomach lining. Accion 30mg is commonly prescribed to individuals suffering from acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and other acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. This medication provides effective relief from the pain and discomfort associated with these conditions, improving the quality of life for those affected.

Functions

Accion 30mg Capsules primarily work by inhibiting proton pumps in the stomach, reducing gastric acid production. This action allows the stomach lining to heal from ulcers and reduces symptoms of acid reflux. It is effective in treating conditions such as:

• Duodenal ulcers
• Gastric ulcers
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a condition involving excessive stomach acid)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Other acid-related digestive issues

By decreasing stomach acid, Accion helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This makes it a valuable treatment for individuals dealing with chronic ulcers or severe acid reflux.

Precautions

Before taking Accion 30mg Capsules, it’s important to consult your doctor, especially if you have a history of stomach or esophageal cancer, liver disease, or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding. Accion should not be used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without prior consultation with your doctor. It is essential to exclude the possibility of malignancy before beginning treatment, as Lansoprazole may mask symptoms of underlying cancer. Additionally, if you have a history of kidney or liver disease, your doctor may adjust the dosage or monitor your condition closely. Regular monitoring may also be needed if you're taking this drug for an extended period.
